GameStop to Close Elite Pro Program in August, Will Honor Year Purchase Before Then

The GameStop Elite Pro rewards program is no more. The news comes from the official GameStop subreddit earlier today according to multiple GameStop Employees.

In the post, started by user Red_Trainer, it was revealed that the company would cease the program starting August 1st. As a result, this means that the pro membership will once again be the highest tier in the system.

The Elite Pro Program was implemented by the company last year, offering its customers a handful of great perks in exchange for the $29.99 membership. Those perks include:

30 points for every dollar spent

Birthday offer

Buy 2 get 1 free pre-owned games welcome offer

20% off pre-owned games and accessories

20% extra trade credit on games, accessories, and tech

12 issues of Game Informer magazine

Exclusive Pro Day sales with over $4,000 in annual savings

Collectibles welcome offer

Free 2-day shipping on orders over $35

Those who shopped at GameStop frequently noticed that the perk paid for itself rather quickly. There is no telling as to whether that is the reason for the program shutting down, as the company is known for squeezing out a profit out of its customers.

It is worth noting that those who renew their membership before August 1st will still receive the benefits of the program for the next year.
